McDonald’s Quarter Pounder back on the menu after testing rules out beef patties as E. coli source
SUMMARY: McDonald’s announced the return of Quarter Pounders at hundreds of its restaurants after determining that beef patties were not the source of an E. coli outbreak that affected 75 individuals and resulted in one death across 13 states. The U.S. FDA suspects that slivered onions from a specific supplier, Taylor Farms, are responsible for the contamination. McDonald’s will offer the Quarter Pounder without slivered onions and has ceased sourcing from the implicated facility. The outbreak primarily affected Colorado, with additional cases in several states, and was linked to E. coli 0157:H7, posing serious health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations.
